Hello Friends!

I have done it!

I finally created and compiled all of my simplest and most natural

body care products in ths e-book!

I have spent many years going to all kinds of stores and studying

the ingredients in toothpastes, lotions, sunscreens, shampoos

and many other body care products. I was on a mission to figure

out which products I would be willing to use that would not

cause unnecessary harm to my body or the environment, and

most of all could be used on my children. This constant

unsuccessful pursuit became frustrating and expensive. Oddly, I

found that the more ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ some products claimed

to be, the more expensive they were... I’m sorry but does that

sound completely backwards to you too?

Knowing that Nature provides us with everything our body

needs, I thought there must be a way to make my own products

from all natural ingredients, True to the Earth.

So, I decided to go through all of my body care needs one at a

time and create an inexpensive, simple and toxic free approach

to making sure I was getting clean while respecting the desire to

be as natural as possible. I have compiled all of these recipes

together here in Earthie Mama’s Natural Body Care Recipes.

Main Ingredients

• ORGANIC Apple Cider Vinegar not only has many benefits to

your internal body but also is an excellent beauty product for all

your hair and skin needs from head to toe. ACV is cheap,

abundant and due to its high acidity, balances your skin and

hair’s natural ph levels while leaving a beautiful glow.

• Baking Soda (or bicarbonate of soda) is a gentle alkaline

powder that cleans, whitens and also has anti-inflammatory

properties. Baking soda will also draw out toxins which makes it a

wonderful ingredient for your homemade products. You can find

baking soda at any grocery store and it is very cheap.

• Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees in their

beehive. Beeswax has many uses, but in skin products, once

applied to the skin, it forms a protective and moisturizing layer

on the surface. It also contains antibacterial properties.

• ORGANIC Virgin Coconut Oil has so many great uses.

Coconut oil has anti-viral and anti-microbial properties. Not only

is coconut oil great for cooking, it also can be used in almost

every body care need.

• Jojoba Oil is a botanical extract from the seed of a jojoba tree.

It can be used as a make-up remover, conditioner, facial cleanser,

massage and bath oil, body moisturizer, lip conditioner and much

more. It has been said to be very close to the consistency of

human skin oils, thus cleans pores without clogging them.

• Vitamin E Oil is a strong antioxidant that prevents premature

aging and promotes healing. It is used in many products for the

skin and nails.

• Zinc Oxide is not only an antioxidant that is able to soothe,

protect and help heal the skin, but it is also a sun protector able

to absorb UVA and UVB rays from the sun. It can be used in

children and baby lotions, nail products, skin lotions and

sunscreens.

Easy Whitening Toothpaste It is a huge challenge to find toxic free toothpaste without

fluoride and sodium laureth sulfate, yet you really do not need

much to get your teeth clean. The main ingredients, Baking Soda

and Coconut Oil are enough to leave your teeth squeaky clean

and super white. Adding essential oils, calcium magnesium, and

xylitol, will make your toothpaste even more beneficial to your

teeth. And best of all, it’s naturally fluoride free!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

• 2 tablespoons baking soda

• 2 tablespoons calcium magnesium powder (optional)

• 2 tablespoons xylitol (optional)

• 20 drops essential oil (I use peppermint.)

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together in a small glass jar.

2. Scoop a bit out on your toothbrush and Brush away!

3. You’ll feel cleaner, whiter teeth, and it’s so much cheaper!

Basic Mouthwash

Good oral hygiene is very important. Rinsing out your mouth with

a mouthwash helps to keep good oral hygiene. Making it yourself

is so easy, so cheap and there are no hidden chemicals. You can

simply use Apple Cider Vinegar or Hydrogen Peroxide which are

both potent bacterial disinfectants, or try this basic recipe for a

good quick oral cleanse.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 3 drops peppermint essential oils

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a glass jar and shake well

2. Swish in mouth for 1 minute, then rinse your mouth out 3.

Store on your bathroom counter.

Earthie Sunscreen

Most commercially prepared sunscreens are full of harmful

chemicals that cover you in toxins that can cause all sorts of

problems within the body, making sunburn the least of your

problems! The skin is the largest organ in the body and the outer

layer that we present to the world. It is a truly remarkable organ

in its direct reflection of what is going on inside your body. It

weighs approximately 8 pounds and stretches 22 square feet

with about 300 million cells. Laid out in a line, your skin contains

about 45 miles of nerves!

So, make your own sunscreen that is all natural and non-toxic!

This recipe has an SPF of about 24, to increase SPF add more

Zinc Oxide. This Sunscreen leaves your skin more nourished than

before with all of the incredible ingredients straight from the

Earth.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of almond oil (or combo with another oil from the

Note below)

• 1/4 cup Coconut Oil

• 1/4 cup Beeswax (add less if you want it creamier)

• 2 Tablespoons Zinc Oxide

• 2 Tablespoons Jojoba Oil

• Optional: 1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil

• Optional: Essential Oils, Vanilla Extract

www.earthiemama.com

NOTE: Avoid using citrus oils, such as bergamot, orange, lemon

or lime. They may cause unpleasant skin reactions when exposed

to the sun. They can also reduce the sunscreen's effectiveness.

The Beeswax makes it semi waterproof but it should be reapplied

after exposure to water.

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients in a glass jar except the Zinc Oxide.

2. Place in a saucepan and add water.

3. Put a top slightly closed on the jar and place in the water. 4. Heat till the wax is completely melted then remove from pot.

5. Stir and add the Zinc Oxide.

6. Pour into storage container and store at room temp.

NOTE: If you want to add additional SPF to your sunscreen,

these Ingredients naturally have SPF in them and can be liberally

applied at will.

• Shea Butter (SPF 6-10)

• CarrotSeed Oil (SPF30)

• Wheat Germ Oil (SPF 20)

• Sesame oil, Coconut Oil, Hemp oil, Avocado oil

(SPF between 4-10)

Bug Away Spray

This recipe can be made very simply with your choice of essential

oil and a ‘carrier oil’. Rub or spray the natural insect repellent

onto skin or clothing, using care to avoid the sensitive eye area.

You'll need to re-apply after about an hour or after swimming or

exercise. If you wish, you may combine the oil with aloe vera gel

to change the consistency to more of a spreadable lotion.

Ingredients:

• 15-25 drops of essential oils

• 2 tablespoons of a carrier oil or alcohol

Directions:

1. Pour carrier oil into spray bottle and add essential oil

2. Put top on and shake then spray or rub.

3. Make sure to reapply every few hours and after exposure

to water

mosquitoes, flies, ticks, fleas

• castor oil (mosquitoes)

• orange oil (fleas)

• rose geranium (ticks and lice)

*Safe carrier oils include:

Shampoo

Many shampoos contain unnecessary ingredients and while they

claim to be ‘nourishing’, they are quite literally stripping your hair

of its natural oils. The body tries to balance itself out only to

produce more oils making your hair seem greasy, forcing you to

use more shampoo to wash it again. This recipe is a great

alternative to store bought shampoos. At first it might feel a bit

more greasy as your scalp returns to its natural balance, but after

a few weeks you should only have to wash your hair twice a week.

Add any essential oil of your choice to make your hair smell nice.

Ingredients:

• 1⁄4 cup water

• 1/3 cup Liquid Castile Soap

• 1/2 of a teaspoon of Jojoba oil

• 20 drops of Essential Oils of your choice

Directions:

1. Mix ingredients together and pour into a clean squeeze

bottle or reuse on old shampoo bottle.

2. Shampoo as you normally would and rinse with cool water.

Conditioner

As a replacement for high-priced, toxin filled conditioners, use a

very simple vinegar rinse as a conditioner 2-3 times a week and

you will find your hair shiny and detangled. The Apple Cider

Vinegar removes clumpy residue in hair from product build-up

and mixed with the Rosemary, it is a natural detangler. It will

leave your hair revitalized, soft and smooth.

Ingredients:

• 2 1⁄2 cups of hot water

• 1⁄2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar

• 1⁄2 cup of diced Rosemary (optional)

Directions:

1. Pour ingredients into a bottle and shake well.

2. Let cool to desired temperature.

3. Use about 3⁄4 cup of the rinse each time you condition

Cleansing your Face Naturally

Many of the facial cleansers for sale are full of toxic chemicals

and generally irritate the skin first before cleansing it. You really

do not need much to have clean and clear skin. This three step

approach of facial cleanser, toner then moisturizer will be sure to

leave your skin looking cleaner and younger while leaving you

left with a glow.

Step 1: Facial cleanser

Ingredients:

• Jojoba oil

Directions:

1. Place a couple of drops of Jojoba Oil on palm of hands and

rub into face and neck.

2. Gently wash and pat dry.

3. Add your toner, then moisturizer.

www.earthiemama.com

Step 2: Facial Toner

There are a few toners that are inexpensive and work great to

clean out your pores before moisturizing. After washing the face

or after exercising, take a cotton swab and use one of these

toners:

• Witch Hazel

• Apple Cider Vinegar

• Aloe

• Rosewater

Step 3: Facial Moisturizer

Many facial moisturizers have unnecessary toxic chemicals and

are overly priced for the amount that you get. Try this instead!

Ingredients:

• 1 Teaspoon Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

Directions:

1 Put a small amount onto hands and massage into face.

*To make the moisturizer SPF add a teaspoon of Zinc Oxide

www.earthiemama.com

Lip Balm The skin on your lips and around your mouth is extremely

sensitive. Making your own toxin free lipbalm is easy and it works

very well as a moisturizer.

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon grated beeswax

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

• 1/8 teaspoon vitamin E oil

• 1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla

Directions:

1.Put beeswax, coconut oil and vitamin E oil in a glass jar then

place it with a few inches of water in a saucepan.

2.Bring water to a simmer until all ingredients are melted. Add

the vanilla and stir

3.Pour mixture into a small, clean container and let cool

completely

It’s ready to spread on the lips and enjoy!

Deodorant

Most store bought deodorants contain high amounts of toxic

chemicals and I urge you to do your own research on the effects

of these chemicals on your body. There have been numerous

class-action lawsuits against various companies due to injuries

caused by underarm deadorants.

Many natural forms to deodorize exist and there are quite a few

ways to combat odors, here’s one of my favorites.

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons melted organic virgin Coconut Oil

4 tablespoons baking soda

¼ cup Organic Corn starch (thickener)

Essential oils (optional)

Directions:

1. Slowly melt the coconut oil till it is liquid, then transfer to a

bowl.

2. Add the baking soda and corn starch to the coconut oil and

mix well (add essential oils if you’d like a scent)

3. Allow to cool and harden.
